My ML320 is now touching 19 years and 180,000 kms. Yesterday it went to MBS for its annual service (fluid changes, wheel alignment etc.). The comment from the service manage whom I have known for many years is that the vehicle is in perfect mechanical condition and together we went back through the computerised service records of the last 10 years. What has been replaced in that period? 2 rear shocks and one power steering fluid reservoir (nasty plastic animal that one).
Apparently it surprises the service manager that it shows no fault codes over that period. I guess the boys and girls who built the car all came to work on the day they screwed my ML together and did the job right the first time.
The only real trauma with it was the disintegrating loom shortly after the warranty expired but MB paid for most of that as they agreed it should have never happened.
Maybe I will just keep this vehicle until the wheels fall off from sheer old age...either its wheels or mine; whichever comes first.
Regards,
Brian
